DST

Okay...I try not to complain about too many things here in blog-land...but Daylight Savings Times (DST) is just one of those things that deserves a little attention.  It drives me batty...always has.  It seems that just when we get used to either being on DST or EST it is time again to change to the other.  Then it seems to take a week or two to adjust to the new time.  I think there are good arguments for having the time be in DST or EST but I just wish we would choose one and stick with it. 

To complicate it, the US now switches to DST at a very different time than the rest of the world.  Not too much of a problem unless you participate in teleconferences with the US, Europe, South America, and Australia...all of which switch in and out of daylight savings time at different stages.  Talk about a scheduling nightmare! 

This is an advantage to living in Singapore...we are always on the same time...no messing with daylight savings time...although not sure how much difference it would make being so close to the equator.  Regardless, you never have to make the adjustment which is nice after spending all of my US life springing forward and then falling back...then springing forward and then falling back...then springing forward...

I live in somewhat of a constant state of timezone hopping so can adjust relatively well to change in time.  But for some reason, DST still bugs me...who knows why?

Am curious...be warned audience participation required now...what are your thoughts on DST?  Like?  Dislike?  Lukewarm about the whole topic and hoping I come up with a better blog topic for next time?
